Trauma-informed practices for early childhood educators : relationship-based approaches that reduce stress, build resilience and support healing in young children / Julie Nicholson, Linda Perez, Julie Kurtz, Shawn Bryant & Drew Giles.
"This second edition of Trauma-Informed Practices for Early Childhood Educators continues to guide childcare providers and early educators working with infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and early elementary-aged children to understand trauma as well as its impact on young children's brains, behavior, learning, and development. The book covers a range of trauma-responsive teaching and family engagement strategies that readers can use to create strength-based environments that support children's health, healing, and resiliency. Updates include a greater emphasis on resilience and collaborating with mental health specialists, a new chapter on developing children's sensory literacy and additional case studies to use in workshops or professional development. Supervisors and coaches will learn a range of powerful trauma-responsive practices that they can use to support workforce development and enhance their quality improvement initiatives"-- Provided by publisher.
